Sauces For Mashed Potatoes Recipes

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Generously salt the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Then lower the heat to medium and gently simmer until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the butter with a spatula until melted, and then fold in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover amply with cold water. Bring the water up to a boil and reduce the heat so it simmers. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water and allow the potatoes to cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and, while still hot, put them through a food mill.
• Mash the potatoes: Return the empty pot to the heat and add the milk. Bring the milk to a simmer and gingerly add the potatoes back into the pot. Season with salt and pepper and gently mix in the butter and sour cream. Do not over mix - over mixing makes gummy potatoes. Taste for seasoning. Remove from the heat.
• Finish the potatoes: When ready to serve, use a whisk (or an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment) to whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl until fairly firm. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream and the Parmesan into the mashed potatoes. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.

• On a cutting board, peel the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large bowl of cold water after peeling to prevent discoloration.

• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and mash with a potato masher, potato ricer, or by pushing through a fine mesh sieve with a spatula.
• Add the melted butter and stir to incorporate, then season with salt to taste.

• Top with a pat of butter, freshly ground black pepper, and a sprinkle with chives, or gravy, if desired.
• Serve warm.
